Dolby Atmos & Android Auto - Samsung Galaxy S9 Themes, Apps, and Mods

Guys I connected my S9 to my truck for the first time today, set up the android auto and everything works fine but when I opened up one of my media players I noticed the audio was kind of bland and when I looked on my phone sure enough dolby atmos was disabled and when I tried to enable it it said it wasn't available for the audio path. Anybody else can confirm this?

I just got my t mobile s9 hooked it up in my truck to a pioneer nex2330 and android auto fired up and Dolby atmos is enabled and working perfectly. Works everytime even better then my pixel 2 did.

Bluetooth audio skipping on Pandora and factory music app

I connected my XZ1 compact to my Kenwood KMM515BT car receiver for the first time yesterday and immediately noticed the music was skipping. I tried reinitializing the bluetooth on the Kenwood and re-pairing and also tried several music apps (Pandora streaming and the stock music app reading music from the SD card). I also tried restarting the phone and shutting off bluetooth tethering. Nothing fixed or improved it at all. My Galaxy S5 Active works fine with this receiver. Anyone else having this issue?
edit: I guess I accidentally put this in the wrong forum. I guess it should be in Q&A. Sorry about that.
I also just checked this on my Dual bluetooth car receiver that's in my other car and it works perfectly fine in that car with all my music apps. That unit doesn't have aptX (the Kenwood does), which makes me think this might be related to that.

have you tried the other bluetooth drivers?
i believe the default is SBC. you also can choose from aptX and aptX-HD

I did, but the car receiver only seems to work when I select aptX. When I select anything else I lose the audio completely which is odd because my wife's iPhone 6 works fine and that phone doesn't support aptX.
I came up with a work around for this car for now. I unpaired my XZ1c with the car and I've left my old S5 paired to it and stashed it in the glove box with a charge cable connected. It has no sim and has only my music apps installed, and I have bluetooth tethering set up between that phone and my XZ1c. Sometimes I have to reselect "use xz1 compact for internet" on the S5's bluetooth menu when I get in the car but otherwise it's working reliably and the audio quality is excellent. Not the greatest solution but it's a solution anyway.

i happen to think that's a great solution. i was already considering dedicating my XZ1C as my music/gps station in my car in this exact setup. you also get to double up on battery life, and no mounting-unmounting

Androdi Pie and BT problems

Hi everyone!
When connect my phone to car radio pioneer mvh-s300bt via Bluetooth phone set automatically sbc codec. I have latest radio firmware, so AAC worked correctly on android 8.1. After update to 9.0 work only with SBC. When i try change it in developer options, setting are constantly return to SBC codec. I feel different between this codec and it is little annoying for my ears.
Please, help how can i fix it.
Of course, xiaomi developers doesn't read any notification from users, so i must do it on one's own.
Thanks for help.
No solution so far, afaik.
Facing the same problem, Mercedes 2019 and Volvo 2019 both default to SBC.
YouTube is out of sync when streaming via A2DP, video is lagging, audio working fine.
Stock MIUI 8.1 was even worse, playback was slow and distorted.

Bluetooth audio quality question

Hello. I change phones alot and have noticed that some phones(all android) have better bluetooth playback than others.
I had a oneplus 7 pro before this phone and the bluetooth quality to my truck was great and had no issues but with this phone the highs sounds scratchy or like if the speaker is bad. But if i connect it with a wire connection it sounds great. Everything with the 2 phones is the same. On both i was using the galaxy watch and pretty much the same apps. On a previous phone the note 8 i had the same issue but it was a different car. Seems like its the way samsung handles bluetooth.
Has anyone had this issue? If so was there a fix?
Thanks

What do you mean?
The only two things I think about is the codec used that may be different across devices, and the Bluetooth settings that sync the phones volume with the headset (the differences are noticeable).
Since no DAC is used in Bluetooth, I don't think it can comes from them, for a same headset.
On Samsung phones you should run the adapt sound process. Try this.
I tried with the sync volume off too and no improvement.
I looked for the adapt sound and my phone doesn't have that setting. Or is it something different?
It's in Sounds and Vibration 》 Advanced Sound settings 》Sound Quality and effects 》 Adapt sound
You have to do this in a quiet place and ensure to answer honestly. If you can't hear the beeping press no.
After doing this the sound quality is night and day difference.
Ok found it. Ill play with it a bit. Thanks
I've had issues sometimes with audio being piped through the "Calls" Bluetooth channel versus the "Audio" channel so worth checking as the quality is obviously night and day.
I also like enabling Dolby Atmos on my Note 10+ for music so worth playing with too. Additionally, I recently found Samsung's Sound Assistant app which let's you customize a bunch of sound settings so worth checking out as well:

Is there an easy way to tell if the audio is going through the call channel?

Easiest is probably just uncheck calls in your phones BT settings for your truck (and make sure audio is enabled). If the sound is still not great then this isn't the issue.
Sorry to respond to an old thread, but I was wondering if any of this fixed the OP's problem. I followed all the recommendations here and on other threads but have not been able to solve my recent Bluetooth audio problem. The sound has been terrible lately.
Same issue here on my s10+. When playing any audio in my car via BT i hear the distortion/hissing noise especially when the song has a higher treble frequency.
I have just about tried all fixes i could find on Google, and no luck.
When connecting to my ear buds (Jabra Elite 65t) it disappears and checked in developer mode that it supports to AAC for BT Codecs.
But when connecting to the car it reverts to SBC.
The issue clearly lies on Samsungs side, as my brother has a Huawei p30 Pro, also has bluetooth 5 and plays amazingly well in all aspects (Bass-Mids-Treble).
I know I'm posting this almost a year later, but i am desperately looking for a fix.
SN. I have recently updated my phone to Android 10, despite all the complaints to Samsung from many users... Sadly this issue has not being fixed on my side.
From what i see online, people have given up on Samsung and opted for Rooting their Samsungs and installing Viper4Andriod.
Has any one done this and can confirm that it fixed the issue?

Bluetooth CRACKING/POPPING noises!

Hello everyone.
Since 2 months I know have this "strange" phenomenon that when I connect my Realme 6 Pro to my Bluetooth sound device of my choice, for the first few times connecting there are only popping/cracking noise sounds coming out. No music or anything relatable. After connecting around 5-10 times, it finally will play music (also it suddenly goes back to the cracking state when clicking around in youtube).
Bonus: most of the time (even if connected right and playing music) the microphone wont work in calls.
I cant fix this sh*t and it really bothers me a lot lately.
Hopefully someone can help, or else I´m going to throw this phone into the trash can... xD
Greetings.
My BT works fine for the most part, but sometimes it breaks up. I am really hoping it's just a software issue
Me too, for about 2 or 3 months now. Wasn't a problem before. Thinking I'll try factory reset soon, see if that fixes it.
Hey! I also have this problem and what i found is, if your Bluetooth audio support Aptx codec, it will enable option "Use High Quality Audio" in your audio bluetooth settings. Try to disable (it will use SBC Codec) and my problem disappear.
But, it really annoying. I already try my bluetooth audio with another phone and it worked fine with Aptx, so i know my bluetooth audio is not my problem. My workaround so far are disable high quality audio, then enable Aptx manually in developer options with AVCRP 1.6
Not sure if my device actually using SBC codec or Aptx after change it manually on developer options
Hi All! I solved problems with Bluetooth by switch off Dolby Atmos!

Hi! I solved problems with Bluetooth by switch off Dolby Atmos!

Oneplus 7t open beta 4 Bluetooth audio issues.

So I'm not sure if this is open beta 4 issue or anything like that, but I've recently started using Bluetooth headset and Bluetooth streaming in my car.
The audio quality is terrible, so I started poking around, downloaded equalizer app as EU version doesn't have it in the system, so I managed to improve it a bit.
Then started checking developer options and no matter which of the devices I connected to had HD audio greyed out and only SBC was available and quality wise all other settings there only had lowest values avaliable.
I know what you're probably going to say, that my devices don't support those, but they do.
First test I did was car bluetooth streaming, I borrowed my brothers poco f1 which sounded way better, but I didn't check the settings.
Now I grabbed my old Nokia 8 and started going into the settings and all the options were available when each of the devices were connected to it and sound quality was way better.
So this is not a matter of end devices not supporting the codec, but my OP 7t not allowing it.
Is there any fix or workaround for this issue?
I did try disabling developer options and re-enable them to enable HD audio, but it made no difference and if phone was restarted and reconnected to any device, it was back to off.
